20 If the Lord doesn't make the time shorter, no one will be left alive. But because of his chosen and special ones, he will make the time shorter.
21 If someone should say, “Here is the Messiah!” or “There he is!” don't believe it.
22 False messiahs and false prophets will come and perform miracles and signs. They will even try to fool God's chosen ones.
23 But be on your guard! That's why I am telling you these things now.
24 In those days, straight after that time of suffering,“The sun will become dark,and the moonwill no longer shine.
25 The stars will fall,and the powers in the skywill be shaken.”
26 Then the Son of Man will be seen coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
